Words & Letters
Despite what the Matrix tried to say, déjà vu is not a glitch. It does come from the French, and as Americans, we’ve wholeheartedly adopted the word. Oftentimes, it’s confused with coincidence but they are not the same. I recently watched a comedy special on Netflix and the opening music was a track from They […]
The changes keep coming. We’ve got a sponsor this week. If you need a modern, no-code, web builder check out Readymag. I’ve also added a few design jobs (at the end) along with the usual pretty things to look at. Change is the only constant. It’s an overused saying, but it’s true. This week’s post […]
Most of these posts follow a pattern. There’s a bunch of links from one discipline, maybe two, and then a random collection from others. This week that pattern is gone. There are two work articles and then one each from a variety of mediums. In all the years I’ve been doing this, I can’t remember […]
“I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong. If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. We will not become enthusiastic for the fact, […]
The fact that we are jumping into May seems unfathomable to me. January was two minutes ago. I started a new job, everything was new, and there was so much to do. There’s still so much to do–that hasn’t changed. Progress is being made on all fronts. I can see that, but it’s never enough. […]
It’s too late to get deep into a bunch of words this week. I’ll leave you with this sad factoid. In 2000, Alabama became the last state in the USA to overturn its ban on interracial marriage. OK, with that as your baseline, let’s look at some smart ideas, pretty stuff, and more positive creative […]
Running a little behind schedule today–but that seems to be a theme lately. I’ll catch up soon. Juggling was never my strong suit. It wasn’t the throwing, I was never great at the catching part. I was much better with a yo-yo. Rock the baby, man on the flying trapeze, and round the worlds all […]
Sometimes the books I read shine a light (or cast a shadow) that is hard to ignore. This is what books are supposed to do–give you a new perspective. You need to be in the right headspace to take in the information, and you have to question the concepts to spin the idea from multiple […]
A few years ago, If I told you that you could just think of an idea and a computer could turn that into a photo-realistic image you’d call it science fiction. We’ve all seen this stuff now: ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and others. There are so many headlines about the computers taking creative jobs and […]
Is it Tuesday already? I don’t know what happened in the last 7 days, but here we go again. Lots of visuals this week–less reading. That’s where I’m at too. Art Catalan Artist Javier De Riba Brings Coziness To Outdoor Spaces With His Floors ProjectConnection through the floor Mysterious Creatures Emerge from Recycled Materials in […]
